So everyone harps and harps and harps ad nauseum about Bush and Cheney having prior ties to the oil industry making them immediate mindless patsies to the Great Satan Big Oil, but what about the Democrats and Big Green? The funny part is that those like Pelosi have DIRECT investments in alternative fuel companies whose technology they’re trying to ran through in legislation. So when these Big Green companies that the Democrats are lackies to start making billions in profits, will there be a call for Windfall Profits Taxes? I guess that will depend on whether Pelosi and her cohorts have sold their stock or not.

How freaking hypocritical, LOL!

“August 18, 2008 (LPAC)–In May, 2007, Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi bought stock in the initial public offering of T. Boone Pickens’ company, CNLE (Clean Energy Fuels Corp.). George Soros is a stockholder as well.

CNLE is part of the network of Pickens’ companies set to profiteer off his “Pickens Plan” for a massive shift to wind-generated electricity, and then–so he asserts, a massive freeing up of natural gas for transportation. CNLE provides compressed natural gas and liquified natural gas. Pelosi owns between 100,000 and 250,000 shares.

CNLE is reported to be a sponsor of Proposition 10 in Pelosi’s home state of California, calling for $10 billion in state and Federal funding for companies involved in renewable, clean energy–namely, wind power and natural gas. A sister company operated by Pickens, Mesa Power, is involved in $12 billion of mega-wind farm projects in West Texas. Pelosi also favors Federal tax breaks and financial aid for “renewables” energy projects.”

Pandering to Big Green? Hmmmmmm…billions? Hmmmmm…
dconstru, when did the US go to war for the oil companies? The US hasn’t taken a drop of Iraqi oil years later, but yet you keep blindly repeating the Dems tag lines. Leads to some credibility issues if you ask me. I wish we would’ve taken the oil, my gas would be cheaper.

Global warming watchdog invests in oil, coal, utilities
Investments will be put in a blind trust, chairwoman of Air Resources Board says

(08-18) 04:00 PDT Sacramento — The new chair of the California Air Resources Board owns stocks in several oil, coal and utility firms, some of which are likely to be affected by rules the agency implements as part of the state’s groundbreaking law to fight global warming, The Chronicle has learned.

Mary Nichols’ stock holdings include shares in oil giants Chevron Corp., BP and Royal Dutch Shell, as well as a stake in a Bermuda tanker company that transports crude oil, according to economic interest statements she filed this week.

She also owns stock in the world’s largest coal company, Peabody Energy Corp., along with utilities including Edison International, whose subsidiary, Southern California Edison, serves most of the Southern California electricity market.

In total, she and her attorney husband, John Daum, who represents Exxon in the ongoing Exxon Valdez oil-spill case, have a financial stake in 13 energy-related firms in a diversified stock portfolio that contains 84 companies, according to statements she filed on Aug. 14 with the state Fair Political Practices Commission.

The air board is expected to consider wide-ranging regulations that will affect what kind of fuel motorists pump into their vehicles and help dictate what sources of energy utility companies can use to generate electricity.

I find it interesting that Obama talks how cap and trade is going to generate billions of dollars…goverment doesn’t generate ANYTHING. Where do people think that money is going to come from? Us. Everyone talks about how everyone gets a tax break. who hoo 600 bucks. Money paid to the goverment is going to ecclipse any returns from the goverment.

And no the earth is not going to become desolate if we don’t do this. Climate changes on its own regardless of what man does.

The thing is DOA when people find out that they are going to be paying double or triple their monthly electricity bill to “better the environment”

The #1 source of combustion in the entire planet?

As such, what if we could harness that Astronomical amount of kinetic energy for our own ends?

Would things like nuclear power or even oil be made redundant?
Oh i see.

You’d rather bury your heads in the sand then.

Dems & Libs control California — Boxer, Feinstein, and voting for Clinton, Clinton, Gore and Kerry over the past 4 elections.

Yet, those Liberal states have killed 95% of the salmon. Those Dems don’t mind killing the fish and destroying the enviroment since the Dems in CA & OR enjoy the cheap electricity generated by the dams.

Oh, and the people of ultra-liberal San Francisco get their water by having destroyed the 2nd most gorgeous place in Yosemite National Park — Hetch Hetchy. Hetch Hetchy was one of the world’s gems. But, Libs in San Francisco enjoy water by having destroyed the environment.
Will the Libs restore Hetch Hetchy before telling the rest of us not to hurt the environment? Not likely! Right?
